A source close to the upstart promotion, which is a successor to Titan MMA, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the show will feature a main event of Bobby Voelker (20-6) vs. Brendan Seguin (17-15-1).

Combat Sports Championships officials announced on Friday a handful of fights for the debut card. In addition to Voelker vs. Seguin, MMAjunkie.com also confirmed a fight between undefeated Brian Davidson (4-0) and Pat Miletich-trained prospect Ramiro “Junior” Hernandez (2-1) has also been booked for the show. Both fights should be officially announced next week.

Kelly, who’s also M-1 Global’s vice president of live events, said the Oct. 2 CSC show will be the largest MMA event in Kansas history.

“After having established a strong track record with my old Titan MMA shows, I am excited to be back to promoting full-time MMA in the Kansas City market,” stated Kelly, who held more than a dozen Titan MMA shows since its 2006 debut. “With Titan MMA on hiatus, we were able to bring some nationally televised MMA events to Kansas City and that gave me the itch to start promoting shows on my own again, but this time on a bigger and better scale.”

Kelly’s Titan Entertainment company holds an exclusive lease with Memorial Hall and promotes everything from MMA to pro boxing to rock concerts. The lease likely means all future CSC shows will be held at the Kansas City venue.
